Cleveland Browns traded up on the final day of the 2025 NFL Draft to select high-profile quarterback Shedeur Sanders. His fall to the fifth round was the story of the draft this year.
Less than two months later, there’s a new story attached to Sanders as minicamps wrap up in Cleveland.
Sanders was cited for driving 101 mph in a 60 mph speed limit zone around 12:30 a.m. on June 17. According to municipal court records from Medina, Ohio, this is Sanders’ second speeding citation of the month.
The first citation stemmed from a June 5 incident in Brunswick, Ohio and Ohio State Highway Patrol told WKBN-TV that Sanders was cited for going 91 mph in a 65 mph speed limit zone.
Sanders failed to appear for his arraignment, which was scheduled for June 16, on the first speeding ticket. He is facing $269 in fines and court costs for that citation.
‘He is taking care of the tickets,’ team spokesman Peter John-Baptiste told Cleveland.com.
Sanders is competing for the starting quarterback role in Cleveland alongside veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett as well as fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel.
Will the NFL suspend Shedeur Sanders?
